Don Krieg's End? Natsuya's End?

Nami was struck with immense shock.

She never expected that, having only just entered the Grand Line, she would encounter Dracule Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

So, this Dracule Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was currently hunting down this pirate fleet!?

Just as Nami was thinking this, Dracule Mihawk moved again.

He took a step, his figure suddenly leaping lightly into mid-air, and then, with a casual swing of the Yoru in his hand, he unleashed a slash.

Hum!!!!

Amidst a clear, ringing sound of a blade, a massive slash identical to the previous one emerged, as if splitting the heavens and the earth, and shot toward the pirate fleet ahead!

Immediately following, a shing sound!

A soul-shaking sound of cutting echoed through the air.

Nami was instantly dumbfounded.

Even Momoo was covered in a waterfall of sweat.

The sea surface ahead had actually been split directly in two by the slash!

The slash continued on with unabated momentum, then slammed violently into the pirate fleet.

A shocking scene unfolded once more!

The pirate fleet, which had been neatly arranged, was also cleanly sliced in two along with the sea!

Several pirate ships caught within the range of the slash were neatly severed into two halves!

"Hiss!!!"

Seeing this, Nami couldn't help but gasp.

On the side of the pirate fleet, everyone stared with dull eyes, dumbly watching the divided sea and their ships.

Because of this terrifying slash, the entire pirate fleet fell into chaos, with men and equipment overturned.

However, being able to oppose Dracule Mihawk, this pirate fleet seemed to have some extraordinary qualities.

The chaos lasted only a short while; soon, the remaining dozen or so pirate ships regrouped and began to surround Dracule Mihawk!

At the lead was a tall man wearing golden armor.

Beside him followed a man with a gloomy expression, holding a pair of tonfa-like weapons.

"Eh!?"

Seeing the two of them, Nami let out a surprised cry.

These two people actually felt somewhat familiar to her.

After a moment of thought, Nami quickly found the reason.

"It's them! The Krieg Pirates!?"

At this moment, Nami finally remembered why she felt familiar with these two.

Because these two, just like her, were from the East Blue!

They were the Krieg Pirates, who had a greater reputation in the East Blue than even the Arlong Pirates!

The man in golden armor was the captain and admiral of the Krieg Pirates, Don Krieg!

And the man with the gloomy expression was the commander of the Krieg Pirates, Gin!

The reason Nami knew them was that she had crossed paths with them once while adventuring in the East Blue.

In fact, the overlord of the East Blue before Arlong was actually Don Krieg!

It was just that more than a year ago, after the Krieg Pirates entered the Grand Line in one go, there had been no news of them.

This led to Arlong becoming the new overlord of the East Blue, and people gradually forgot about the Krieg Pirates.

Nami did not expect that while encountering one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea here, she would also run into the former East Blue overlord, the Krieg Pirates!

But it was obvious.

As the former overlord of the East Blue, the Krieg Pirates were nothing more than a snack when facing one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Facing the encirclement of Don Krieg and Gin, Dracule Mihawk destroyed all the surrounding pirate ships with just a few basic swings.

The Krieg Pirates fell apart, suffering countless casualties, and even their leader, Don Krieg, was sliced into two corpses in terror before falling into the sea!

A generation of East Blue overlords had been eliminated before they could even say a few lines!

Seeing this, Dracule Mihawk said indifferently, "Since you are from the East Blue, I originally intended to play with you for a while, but I suddenly have business to attend to, so I sped up the process of finishing you off."

His calm words, paired with the mountain of corpses and sea of blood around him, invisibly exuded a terrifying and peerless aura!

Nami was so frightened that her small face turned pale. Coming to her senses, she hurriedly and tremblingly said to Momoo.

"Hey, Mo, Momoo, let's go, let's go quickly!"

In fact, there was no need for Nami to remind him; Momoo had already regained his senses, and his massive body was already carefully backing away, attempting to get as far from Dracule Mihawk as possible.

But just then, those hawk-like eyes locked onto Momoo.

"Wait."

As Dracule Mihawk's words rang out, Momoo shuddered instantly and, without a second thought, began to retreat frantically!

But at that very moment, a grand green light tore through the air once more, slicing clean through the sea surface where Momoo was about to retreat!

Feeling the terrifying, sharp aura mere inches away, Momoo's massive body went limp on the spot, tears streaming down its face.

Facing such a terrifying existence, it had no strength left to struggle.

Nami was the same, her face a mask of misery.

Having seen Dracule Mihawk wipe out the Krieg Pirates, she had sensed something was wrong and immediately urged Momoo to carry her away.

After all, she had never interacted with Dracule Mihawk and did not know the temperament of such a powerhouse.

What if, after finishing off the Krieg Pirates, he decided to wipe them out as well!?

And right now, the very thing Nami feared most seemed to be happening!

Dracule Mihawk had used force to compel them to stay!

"M-my lord, do you have any instructions?"

Nami asked, her face covered in tears.

Dracule Mihawk narrowed his eyes.

He did not respond to Nami, but instead pulled a file from his coat and began to read it on the spot.

"Hmm!?"

Nami was stunned.

If she had been a little closer, she would have seen that the photo at the top of the file was none other than Natsuya's bounty poster!

Beyond that, there was intelligence related to Natsuya.

It included notes on his Rokushiki, his Devil Fruit ability, and more; additionally, there was information regarding the people around him!

Thus, Dracule Mihawk quickly found Nami on the file, and even Momoo was no exception.

"You are Natsuya's companion!? Where is Natsuya?"

After glancing at the file, Dracule Mihawk suddenly uttered a sentence that made Nami's expression change drastically.

At that moment, Nami was struck with terror.

How could Dracule Mihawk know about Natsuya!?

Wait!

The Seven Warlords of the Sea were pirates seemingly sanctioned by the Marine Government, possessing the legal right to plunder.

In other words, the Seven Warlords of the Sea were in a cooperative relationship with the Marine Government!

So now, was Dracule Mihawk helping the Marine Government to deal with Natsuya!?

Realizing this, Nami froze.

One had to remember that Natsuya had not yet awakened.

With only her and Momoo's strength, they were clearly no match for this Dracule Mihawk!

What should she do!?

Could it be that today was not only the end of the Krieg Pirates, but also the end for her and Natsuya?

Dracule Mihawk then began to approach Nami.

Seeing this, Nami's face paled in shock, and she instinctively stepped back, only to suddenly bump into a warm embrace.

She looked up, dazed, and the face that came into her line of sight was a handsome one.
